Since the development of the first functional internal combustion engines well over a hundred years ago, they have changed our lives like almost no other technical development before. Although the basic principle has remained virtually unchanged, their long-term supremacy is due particularly to the enormous technical improvements. For example, enormous progress has been made in terms of efficiency. At the same time, the emissions of both gaseous substances and particles have been significantly reduced as a result of intra-engine measures and the use of exhaust gas cleaning systems. Through greater and more effective charging or new injection technologies and better control of the combustion process, even more improvements are possible in the future.
